Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for strapping cables, pipes or other similar items, together or to a support, and which is intended to be assembled around the cables or the like without the use of tools, it being sufficient to assemble the device by pulling the strapping hand tight, and thus avoiding the possibility of over-tensioning the strap.
- the present invention consists in a strapping device comprising a strap constituted by a strip of bendable material, preferably metal, attached at one end to a buckle plate, conveniently made of sheet metal, which is adapted to secure the other end of the strip after the strip has been wrapped tight around the members to be strapped, wherein the buckle plate has a bridge portion which is wider than the width of the strip, the buckle plate also including means for holding the other end of the strip after it has been passed under the bridge portion and has been bent to overlap the top of the bridge portion, characterised in that the holding means comprises two fixed ears raised above the plate to form a passage therebeneath substantially in alignment with the bent back end portion of the strip, said two fixed ears having a gap therebetween sufficient to permit the thickness of the strip to pass therethrough, the distance between the connections of the fixed ears to the buckle plate being at least approximately twice the width of the strip.
- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of one embodiment of the device, according to the invention, shown assembled around and tying together three electric cables
- Fig. 2 shows the strap of Fig. 1
- Fig. 3 is a plan view of the buckle plate shown in Fig. 1 ,
- Fig. 4 is a section through Fig. 3 taken along the line Z-Z,
- Fig. 5 is a perspective view of an alternative embodiment
- Figs. 6 and 7 are perspective views of further embodiments.
- the device comprises a strap 1 of bendable strip metal, conveniently 0.5mms thick type 316 stainless steel, and a buckle plate 2, conveniently made of the same material 0.889mms thick, and stamped, to form a raised bridge portion 3 providing a passage beneath the bridge which is wider than the width of the strip steel forming the strap, the underside of the flat top of the bridge preferably being spaced from the surface of the plate by slightly less than the thickness of the strip.
- Slots 5 are formed in the plate at opposite ends of the bridge portion 3. The edges of the slots remote from the bridge portion may be formed downwards as shown to facilitate pushing the strip through the bridge.
- the buckle plate is also formed with a second raised bridge portion which is divided approximately along its centre line to form two fixed ears 3a' and 3a" and is made wider than the bridge 3.
- one end of the strip 1 is passed through the slot 5 nearest an end of the plate, from the raised bridge side of the buckle plate, for a distance of about 2.5cms, and is folded back on the strip.
- the strip attached to the buckle plate is then wrapped around the cables 6 with the bridge portion 3 facing away from the cables, and the free end of the strip 1 is threaded under the ears 3a ' and 3a" and through the passage under the bridge 3.
- the free end of the strip is then first tilted slightly about its axis and is slid through the gap 4 between the fixed ears 3a' and 3a" with its edge inserted beneath one of the ears. It is then pushed sideways until its other edge is clear of the end of the second ear, whereupon the strip is pushed sideways in the opposite direc tion until its said other edge is engaged below said second ear and the strip is centralised beneath the fixed ears.
- the strip and buckle are now secured.
- the fixing and securing of the strapping is thus a simple operation to perform, even under difficult conditions. No bending of the ears is necessary, and consequently damage to the surface finish on the buckle and strip is minimised.
- the overall width between their connections to the buckle 2 should be approximately twice the width of the strip.
- the internal width of the bridge 3 can be 112mm and of the bridge 3a 1 41mm.
- the 3c of the ears may be bent slightly away from the buckle to form lead-in portions facilitating sideways insertion of the strip beneath the ears.
- the components may be made of mild steel or other suitable material.
- the strap may be attached to the buckle plate by welding, or by stamping it integrally with the buckle plate as shown in Figure 5, in which the buckle plate 2 of the construction shown in Figure 4 is made in one piece with the strip 1.
- the fixed ears 3a' and 3a" may be constituted by ears projecting from the edge of the buckle plate and folded back inwards to their fixed positions with a gap 4 therebetween.
- FIGS 6 and 7 which show modified constructions are particularly suitable for smaller and lighter strapping.
- the buckle portion 2 is integral with the strip 1 , and both the bridge 3b and the ears 3b' and 3b" are formed by folding up ear portions from opposite sides of the buckle portion.
- the ear portions forming the bridge 3b may be shaped to form a recess 7 for centralising the strip when it is folded back over the bridge 3b.
- buckle portions of the embodiments of Figures 6 and 7 can also be made as separate buckle plates to which the end of the strap 1 can be attached. It is not essential for the bridge 3 or 3b to be raised above the main body or base of the buckle or buckle portion; it may lie substantially flush with the remainder of the plate forming the buckle.
Abstract
Un dispositif permettant de ligaturer des câbles, des conduites et des articles analogues ensemble ou à un support comprend une sangle (1) constituée par une bande d'un matériau pliable, de préférence du métal, dont une extrémité est fixée à une plaque de fermoir (2), avantageusement en tôle métallique, en faisant passer une extrémité de la sangle (1) au travers d'une fente (5) et en la repliant pour la faire passer au-dessous d'une partie de la sangle qui entoure les câbles (6) ou analogues à ligaturer. La plaque de fermoir présente une portion relevée de pont (3) et une paire alignée d'oreillettes fixes (3a', 3a'') avec un écartement entre elles. L'autre extrémité de la sangle (1) est enfilée au-dessous des oreillettes et passe sous la partie de pont (3). Après le serrage de la ligature, son extrémité libre est repliée au-dessus de la partie de pont (3) et fixée en la basculant légèrement autour de son axe et en la glissant au travers de l'écartement entre les oreillettes (3a' et 3a''). Dans d'autres modes de réalisation la bande (1) est solidaire de la plaque de fermoir (2).A device for tying cables, conduits and similar articles together or to a support comprises a strap (1) consisting of a strip of pliable material, preferably metal, one end of which is fixed to a clasp plate (2), advantageously made of metal sheet, by passing one end of the strap (1) through a slot (5) and folding it back so that it passes below a part of the strap which surrounds the cables (6) or the like to be tied. The clasp plate has a raised bridge portion (3) and an aligned pair of fixed ear cups (3a ', 3a' ') with a spacing therebetween. The other end of the strap (1) is threaded below the ear cups and passes under the bridge part (3). After tightening the ligature, its free end is folded over the bridge part (3) and fixed by tilting it slightly around its axis and sliding it through the gap between the ear cups (3a 'and 3a ''). In other embodiments the strip (1) is integral with the clasp plate (2).
